Tutitu

Tutitu is a character from TV series. This kind of vehicle – I was told – comes about and using it’s back side to spell things and so on… It was requested by my sister to create girlie version for her baby daughter.

So we decided to alter some colors and as I baked at my sister’s place this truly prove the point that everyone can at least to attempt to bake at home.

This was only a small cake so we baked only two chocolate sponges, poured  4 spoons of fruit juice on each  filled them with jam and forest fruit.

2x                       200g of sugar

200g of self-rising flour (remove 1 spoon full of flour and replace it with coco powder)

200g of butter

1 table spoon of baking soda

3 table spoon of water

1 tea spoon of vanilla essence

Food coloring (yellow, pink, blue, green, white)

 

Plus                    Jam

Forest fruit compote

Ready to roll icing

 

For the 3D modeling it is easier when you place the cake in fridge for several hours (2). Then cut out shape as on the picture – engine, back side, wheels – kind. Cover the cake with butter cream and allow chilling.

 

Color the icing or sugar paste, roll it out and cover the cake. Color remaining icing yellow, blue and green and complete other little parts like eyes, smile, teeth, spots, and engine.

For the Tutitu’s cockpit I used the top of water bottle shaped like bubble.

Complete the cake by covering the serving board by blue icing creating the illusion of clouds.
